Last year I saw a clear sign at a large shopping mall that Hengyang would soon have its first Starbucks.
Starbucks would offer an experience not available in Hengyang I could see people were craving, and I had little doubt this store would be a success. When I returned to Hengyang this month, the store was open.
On one Thursday afternoon, people apparently not enjoying Starbucks products occupied most of the outside space, but customers took up much of the available seating area inside.
While the store represents some of Starbucks incredible growth in China, it is also another sign of how Hengyang is changing.
